Hi,

i installed the Beta 3 (x86_64) in a PC with 2 SATA HDD and 1 IDE Drive. The Installation should be a dualboot with 10.3 and 11.0Beta3. Unfortunately the HDD are recognized in a different way.

10.3 SATA 1 - sda SATA 2 -sdb IDE - sdc 11.0 Beta3 - IDE - sda SATA1 - sdb SATA2 -sdc

After the installation i have Problems booting the 10.3 because GRUB is looking for the wrong partitions. Should i report a bug or is this intended behavior?

AFAIK the disk order can be changed by changing the order of relevant kernel modules in /etc/sysconfig/kernel - INITRD_MODULES. I cannot speak for the disk order, however, how is GRUB configured? Does the 11.0's menu.lst refer directly to kernel of 10.3? If so, then we can hardly do anything about it. If you chainload the 10.3 GRUB (which is what I suggest to do if you load 10.3 kernel directly), then I really wonder what's wrong.

I don't know if a bug was submitted, but someone reported the problem to this list and I added a follow-up. I got a new SATA drive and added it to the existing IDE drive to do a fresh install on the SATA drive. I can't quite remember what happened, but I had to remove the IDE drive. I haven't reinserted the IDE drive, it's in a new box now with 11.0 Beta3 x86 installed. I saw the same problem on another box and I temporarily removed the IDE drive which I wanted to reformat, I nearly reformatted the SATA drive instead. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
